Digital BW, The Print

mark,

following is a quote from the www.cablesnmor.com website (they have tons of
odd cables and connectors that do stuff you've probably never considered).
sounds like the exact thing you need (U$21)... note the fact that they say
you can string 5 together for a combined length of 80 feet!

hope this helps,

garth
